Crystal Cruises’ Service and Onboard Enrichment Win in Porthole’s Readers’ Choice Awards

MIAMI, November 18, 2019 – The personalized, internationally acclaimed service aboard Crystal Cruises has again earned the praise of travelers, as Porthole Cruise Magazine announces its 21st annual Readers’ Choice Awards winners. Crystal Cruises took top honors for “Best Service” and “Best Onboard Enrichment” in the awards, voted on by thousands of the publication’s readers across a number of categories including cruise lines, amenities, destinations and more.

 

Genuine, anticipatory service has long been a cornerstone of the Crystal Experience, as travelers consistently cite the personalized attention to detail as one of the key highlights in their Crystal vacations. In addition, a longtime distinction of Crystal Cruises’ Ocean voyages is the vast selection of onboard enrichment and entertainment. The many public spaces aboard Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity set the stage for numerous choices when it comes to daytime classes and activities and evening performances of various kinds.
